| X236. To F.N. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} E.8/HP.29.3.33. c. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Bensport Pistons. Replying to your memo PN.{Mr Northey}3/WT.28.3.33, one of the pistons which broke was analysed, and was found to be, as has been reported, in the unsuitable crankcase material. The other piston which broke has not been analysed, but I am creditably informed that it was from the same set of castings, and hence should be of the same material.
